In my travels last week, I missed this interview of Rob Bell by Christianity Today’s Mark Galli.I’ve interacted with some of Rob’s other materials on this site, and my conclusion has been that what he is holding out as the gospel of Christianity is something radically different from what the Bible actually says.

This interview in Christianity Today only deepens that concern… Bell’s answer to Galli’s question [in the CT interview] is sub-Christian.It is not the message of Christianity.It is not saving.It is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.It is not even anywhere near it… (Online source)

Gilbert also brings out another critical point when he points out:

On another note, it’s surprising to me that Christianity Today, “a magazine of evangelical conviction” would think it was a good idea to run this interview in a positive light.They don’t warn their readers about this sub-Christian “gospel,” and they do not challenge Bell on his understanding of the gospel.From start to finish, this article plugs Bell’s book and leaves the impression that CT is just fine with the way he understands and articulates “the gospel.” (Online source)
